How Jo27 started their web page design journey

Company name

The Wedding Site Ltd

Overview

We are a wedding website which provides information, tools and resources to brides and grooms planning their wedding. There are about 15 wedding websites in Ireland at the moment so we needed to launch into the market with something different and have a great USP. We have a section on our site called My Planner- which no other site has at the moment. Currently it is on our Home Pade and want it to remain there and every other page on the site if possible to entice the girls to register in order to use this free interactive planning tool. We need this planner tool re designed as it doesn't sell itself as it currently stands.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Mainly famale - 20-45 & some males also

Requirements

Logo to stay the same

A white background behind the logo like the homepage already is essential to our brand so we can say the logo and it's clear

Do not deviate from white as the main background colour and do not use various hues of blue.

One or two is fine or whatever colour you feel compliments our brand colours ( blue and white)

Visual consistency and uniformity are key for branding.

We want the page and its elements to appear as a cohesive unit rather than looking at multiple boxes packed together.

We want to see creativity in layout and visuals within the boundaries of the brief.

The size of the site at the moment is 1,270 pixels and needs to be 960 pixels so it needs to be designed to those specs.

From the site you will see it's built on a table so my designer is finding it difficult to keep the planner column with press releases, competitions etc on all pages if we need to downsize. So the re design needs to have all these but still fit the 960 spec. NOTE: ALL CONTENT ON OUR HOMEPAGE IS READY TO GO INFORMATION - so when designing can you include all of these and not dummy images or information. We need to see what it will look like in REAL TERMS.

NOTE: All ads need to be in the same place as they currently are. The top right hand corner going downwards along the side of the page as that is where our ads will be featured on every page of the site

Number of pages

2

Page descriptions

The second page of the site I would like to duplicate in a lot of other sections to keep it simple , for eg: grooms section/ ideas / health & beauty these need to be the same for user friendliness and not to complicate things.

Each section is highlighted on the main bar to let the bride or groom know what section they are in.

Main items on the homepage to be included in these pages also.

We'll need to see the second page also in terms of layout.

Existing website

We just need a WOW factor homepage which it is lacking at the moment.

We are looking for a truly amazing web designer with excellent creativity to create the look we are going for.

We like the colouring on the HP at the moment but feels it needs slight tweaking and movement of icons to fit the brief .
